The Wicked Witch of the East

by Maddieriley12

Nessa has survived the house that had fallen on her. Elphaba is gone, and Nessa is left in the arms of Glinda. But nothing is quite the same. But Nessa begins to wonder if Elphaba is really dead, or if everyone just likes to believe that way. Post-musical, some Fiyeraba. Rated T to be safe.

12. Chapter 12

Hi again! Make sure to review!

QOD: What is your fav song in Wicked? Mine is Wicked Witch of the East (surprise, surprise)

Disclaimer: I don't own Wicked or anything referenced in here.

Nessa's POV

"She's not waking up!", I yell.

We concluded last night that Elphaba was suffering from pneumonia. We're not sure which stage, but it's bad. We are most likely banned from hospitals now after sneaking out of one and casting a spell on everyone there. And everyone is after us anyway.

"Glinda, open the Grimmerie to the healing spell", I say.

Glinda digs through her purse a bit and finally takes it out. She searches through the pages a bit.

"I can't find it."

I groan and roll my eyes. My panicking state gets the best of my attitude. I snatch the Grimmerie out of Glinda's arms and open it to the page of the healing spell. It suddenly dawns on me that I can't use it. After what happened with Boq I can't risk anything worse happening to Elphaba.

"Glinda, can you do it?", I ask.

"I-I don't know. I thought you could...", she says.

I shake my head sadly.

"Why not?", Glinda asks.

"I can't",I reply bluntly, blinking back tears.

"But your sister can!", she says.

"Well, I'm not my sister! I just can't!", I snap. Glinda looks a bit taken aback. Glinda begins to chant the spell, and I try to protest. I don't want my sister to get hurt because of a failed spell. Glinda further ignores my protests. By now, Glinda has finished the spell. Elphaba wakes up unharmed. I breath a sigh of relief.

"Fabala!", I cry. Elphaba runs and hugs me.

(Still Nessa)

I wake up to the sound of footsteps. The sound is getting louder. I shake my sister to wake her up. She wakes up. Her eyes widen as she listens. We wake Glinda, and Fiyero crawls over to us from underneath his tree. We stand up. Three people holding flashlights come into view.

"Stop right there!", one yells. Elphaba grabs my hand. The man throws off his hood. It is too late once I realize who it is. I am kicked in the ribs and I fall back, coughing. I hear Elphaba scream and a slapping noise. I hear Glinda scream Elphaba's name and I then black out.

(No one's POV)

"Madame, I got them", says Frex.

"Splendid!", Madame Morrible replies. "What about the Grimmerie?"

"I had to take down the little blonde poodle, but I managed to snatch it from her."

Frex empties a large sack and two girls fall out of it.

"Fantastic. Take them to the dungeons", Morrible replies.

He snaps his fingers and they both wake up. Elphaba tries to stand up and falls back down and cries out in pain. Nessa tries, but fails, as she realizes she can't move her legs. Nessa is dragged down a flight of stairs by her hair. Elphaba is forced to stand up and she cries out with each step she's forced to take. They are thrown in a large cell in the basement. The door is shut closed and the two girls are left alone.

Elphaba's POV

I've never felt so much pain in my life. I look over at Nessa, who's curled up in a ball whimpering in pain. I realize that I'm trapped in a dark jail cell. The hard concrete floor is no help to my injuries.

"Elphaba?", Nessa whispers.

"Yes?", I ask.

"What happened?", she asks.

"I don't know. Something horrible", I reply.
